  • Isn't she a river?
    She doesn't need a diamond to shine
    You can't really have her
    But you can hold her for a time
    Takes an army just to bend her, be careful where you send her
    You can't hold her back for long
    The river is just too strong
    She's a river

    Arms made out of silver
    Moving in a crooked line
    Carrying some dreamer
    Off into the end of time
    You don't need to save her
    Or teach her to behave, just let her arms unwind
    Ever-changing and undefined
    She's a river

    You can ride easy when she's slow
    Run across her when she low
    Follow wherever she goes
    She's a river
    Run for cover when she's mad
    Drown in her tears when days are bad
    Don't you ever forget it then
    She's a river

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Isn't she a river?
    She doesn't need a diamond to shine
    So people call you clever
    But she's been a here a long, long time
    And she's seen so many faces
    And places down the line
    She's been left for dead a million times
    Keeps coming home, arms open wide
    Ever-changing and undefined
    She's a river
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    She's a river
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
